Utah Makes Good on Gift:
We reported earlier that UTAH local and state officials had offered to buy some equipment for Utah military facilities—they delivered. The Ogden Air Logistics Center at Hill AFB, Utah, has received $4.4 million worth of equipment out of a $5 million donation, raised predominantly by the Utah Defense Alliance. The money for Hill bought four lathes for the 309th Maintenance Wing.
The Air Force has finished modifying and testing the new VC-25B Bridge aircraft that will serve as a temporary Air Force One, the service announced May 1. All that’s left now is to finish painting the jet before it starts flying this summer.
